The song is SOS (Rescue Me) by Rihanna - the screen caps are from Spooks/MI5 Seasons 7 and 8 - i own absolutely nothing and am making no money from posting this slide show. It is an exercise in learning the absolutely basic basics of corel and is just for fun - hope you enjoy it!

"Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional -- MASSIVE SERIES 3 SPOILERS "You are the best one of the best ones..." As the wonderful lolilie said of Gisborne after the finale of Robin Hood: "The third series has been a revelation (for me). He started off as the boo-hiss baddie again, but because Richard is just that awesome, he kept it real and brought a fabulous arc to his character." That is exactly how I felt about this series. I would not have stuck with it at all if it wasn't for Guy's redemption story arc, and it got me to thinking of just how much Richard Armitage has revolutionized this series--brought it depth even when it seemed determined to have none. The very fact that many fans seem more on Guy's side than Robin's speaks volumes, and even if you're a devoted fan of Robin and Jonas Armstrong, you can't deny that Gisborne made an excellent baddie and an even more excellent ally. This is a tribute to all of those moments we loved--both the sadistic and sweet, the dark and hilarious. Personally, I started out hating Guy's character, and he won me over very gradually. This is a tribute to Richard Armitage, who may not know how glad we are that he stuck with this show for as long as he did. As much as I love the other actors--namely Gordon Kennedy, Sam Troughton, Joe Armstrong, and that master of comedy, Keith Allen--it was Richard Armitage who made the show for me. Leave a comment if you feel the same way!
